September Professional Development Event Recap

by Dallas SWE on in Uncategorized

On Wednesday, September 12th, we had a great turnout at Coffee House Cafe in North Dallas for our viewing of the SWE Advance Learning Webinar Hot Trends in Networking. The evening kicked off with a chance to practice networking with a quick introduction game that had everyone up out of their seat and making connections! When the game wrapped up, the webinar was presented as everyone ate their delicious dinner. Since great information was given throughout the webinar, it was occasionally paused, so attendees could practice the presented skills. Once completed, the group continued with a discussion on the importance of networking and mentoring. Many women shared personal examples of how these skills impacted their careers and helped them to succeed. Be sure to join us next month, on October 11 at the Addison Olive Garden, as we learn more about Engineers Without Borders and the great work the local chapter is carrying out locally and abroad!

Come join us at our next Professional Development event. We will learn more about Engineers Without Borders from the Dallas Chapter President, Julie Jones.

Date: Thursday October 11, 2018

Time: 6:00-8:00 PM
